Follow These Steps When Hit and Run Kills Pedestrian

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN HIT AND RUN KILLS
PEDESTRIAN

• Just like every other day, you went to work, did
  your 8-hour shift and were heading home. Only
  this time, you had an accident on the way back.
  And it wasnt a regular car accident, but
  instead, you hit a pedestrian and they died as a
  result of the accident. What are your legal
  rights? If you ran off from the scene, things may
  get really bad for you. However, if you stayed
  and waited for the cops, you may have a chance to
  deal with the situation.

HIT AND RUN

• In case you killed someone on the road and fled
  the scene, it is only a matter of time before the
  evidence is found that leads right to your
  doorstep. The investigators will come, and once
  they do, you will be faced with criminal charges
  for vehicular manslaughter or negligent homicide,
  or even worse. On top of that, they will add the
  factor that you fled the scene and pack you up
  with additional charges. In other words, running
  after an accident is the worst thing you can do,
  and will probably result in serious jail or
  prison time.

BE A DUTIFUL CITIZEN

• On the other hand, if you remained on the scene
  of the accident, you may have a better chance of
  getting home tonight. Simply call the police,
  wait for them to arrive and tell them what
  happened. Perhaps it was an accident, and the
  pedestrian appeared in the middle of the road at
  night. Perhaps it was a blind curve, or the
  pedestrian was drunk or intoxicated and jumped
  out in front of you. Maybe there were witnesses,
  another car passing by or other people in the
  area.

CONTACT CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEY

• If that is the scenario, and if you did nothing
  wrong, the police will file a report and let you
  go home. However, the chances are that they will
  come back on it in order to confirm the details
  or investigate new leads that they may have
  found. They encourage you to contact a Car
  Accident Attorney in Los Angeles and learn what
  you should do next. You still have legal rights,
  and should use them fully.

WRONGFUL DEATH

• Regardless of whether you were criminally charged
  or not, you may still be civilly liable for
  wrongful death. After all, you did end up killing
  another person whether it was an accident or not.
  However, if there is no proof beyond a
  reasonable doubt, you may be able to get away
  with it. Your insurance company may cover you
  depending on the police report, and if you are
  cooperative, honest and did nothing wrong, and
  most importantly if it is proven that you did
  not intend to kill the person, you may end up
  avoiding jail.
